Discuss Matthew 8 Page 5

Dear brother Chris,

Thank you for your Godly wisdom and comment. I now have a better understanding and agree with you. I will send your comments to brother Joshua also at YT. I am sure he will appreciate your comments also. I love and pray for ALL who have believed in Jesus and ask God daily to put each of us to work on the front lines and fields white unto harvest each day we have left on earth. We all must help and pray for each other daily. James

I actually took the time to listen to that lengthy teaching on the Pre-Trib Rapture deception. He spoke very well & covered a lot of ground, but failed to be more explicit in certain areas that the pre-tribbers would also hold to.

a. The Great Tribulation is a special event in history when it is God's Wrath that is poured upon the world of unbelievers. The tribulations that come to us, whether coping with life's demands & challenges or going through various intensities of persecution & to the laying down our lives for the Lord, are not part of God's Wrath, but what comes to us living in a fallen corrupt world ruled by the prince of this World. And on this aspect the YT speaker dwells on. One would need to look at the fact that a believer who has already been freed from the God's condemnation through Christ, would he then have to face His Wrath for his & the world's 'wickedness'?

b. 1 Corinthians 15:51,52 which ties in with 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 is taken as a separate event to the Day of the Lord not because of the specific events of the dead rising along with the saints to be with the Lord forever, but also what Paul was saying was a Mystery: something unknown or veiled beforehand, being revealed now. Just as the mystery of the Church ( Romans 11:25, Ephesians 5:32, 6:19, Colossians 1:27), so the mystery of the catching away that was not unknown before. The speaker never referred to this important point.

c. The escape of Lot & his family or of Noah & his from the pouring out of God's Wrath was not dealt particularly well by him. He emphasized that they escaped but the unbelievers were destroyed whereas in the Gt. Tribulation, it would not be so, therefore the analogy failed. However, I think that the emphasis is seen to be on the fact that God took out the righteous from the scene of His outpouring Anger.

These being a few of my observations from his talk, & though quite comprehensive & he being well studied, I remain unconvinced from his presentation.

My wife and I have read YOUR KJV BIBLE every word the last three years. I am Baptist and just discovered something all BAPTIST NEED TO KNOW: WE WILL ALL; AS SAVED PEOPLE BE IN THE GREAT TRIBULATION IF LIVING. I verified it two times as found in a YouTube by:

Servus Christi TITLED: The Pretrib Rapture Deception: A False Hope

All preachers should know this as it could deceive many living during this time.

I am not a preacher, I only believe what Jesus our LORD AND GOD SAID IN HIS WORD. I have been deceived for years. Hope this will help someone else. I pray for you and your ministry daily. James

Please pray that Christ and His Father and Holy Spirit will come into my heart and remove the internal anger from abuse, and remove my stony heart--replacing it with a heart of flesh, that I may "love my enemies," and FORGIVE them. If I do not forgive them, I cannot be forgiven by GOD.

Please pray that GOD will PLEASE put a stop to the abuse and stop my abusers from sabotaging my efforts to get hired (at a job or multiple jobs). They ALWAYS destroy both me AND whatever efforts that I put forth mine hand to do to get hired...ALWAYS. GOD has ALLOWED this, in addition to allowing them to stop me from attempting to grow in the LORD by learning what behavior is good and comely to HIM--via His word.

I JUST want to be a "GOOD CHILD" to Him, His Son, and His Holy Spirit--obedient and well-pleasing. His ways keep people me from a lot of worldly traps set by Satan--unforgiveness being one of them. Please agree with me in prayer, that GOD will have mercy on me and make my abusers stop harming me, and destroying my employment and personal/private Holy Bible learning & studying.

GOD IS! And if HE wills a thing to be--it WILL BE! It is up to GOD--He controls ALL! Just as He showed King Nebuchadnezzar in the 4th chapter of the Holy Bible book entitled Daniel, and too, in the 1st chapter of the Holy Bible book entitled Job, and just as He showed the Egyptians in the Holy Bible book called Exodus. So too, as He showed in countless other books--even His Son--BEFORE being given ALL POWER by Him--had the power to control the sea and the winds upon it (Matthew Chapter 8, Verses 22-27 aka Matthew 8:22-27)!

I have been a FOOL--as Job's wife--and I rebuke my own tongue and GOD has taught me by rebuking me/punishing me in the past for such folly wrought against Him--as an immature child disrespecting their GOODLY Father!

I am weak in the spirit--and as a weak "man," so am I too weak to handle the heavy burdens of daily abuse metered out by Satanic relatives and associates.

"Marvel" expresses less than amazement or astonishment. It's defined as a wonder; that which arrests the attention and causes a person to stand or gaze; to pause.

In Luke 2:30-33, the parents "marvelled" about what Simeon and others said about the Christ child.

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

In the New Testament of the Bible, you'll find the word "marvelled" used in other contexts, but it retains the same definition that is stated at the top of this answer. The following verse is Matthew 8:10...

"When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."

Actually. He was from Nazareth, in Judea, and the Jewish laws number 593 & 594 state that a Nazarite shall permit his hair to grow and not cut his hair. So he could have had longer hair. Should it really matter? God Bless

Jesus was born a Jew. He was from Judea. He had short hair. (don't believe the pictures.) If a man have long hair, it is a shame to him.

What does it mean when you pray and God spoke to me and said that he was coming and that he was bring the death angal with him and all God said was do not deni me as your father

Isaiah Chapter 53

Lamb Of God:

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

The Jesus of the Book of Revelation 1, will appear as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

Open this link: Revelation 1: 14-20

Read Revelation chapter 1 as it tells you what Jesus looked like.

Revelation 1:14 - His (Jesus) HEAD head and his hairs were WHITE white like wool, as WHITE white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass,

(Brass is made of copper which is REDDISH GOLDEN BROWN) as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

I think if you search the History of how Jesus looked, you will find a some what of a description. Was he a Jew? Etc. What area was He from ? What kind of hair did He have? Smiles

You are so right. It comforts people somehow. I have a large photo of 3 mountains and an entire valley of huge boulders. I think of it as the valley of dry bones, (Ezekiel) when I'm praying.

Greetings Yes: I do not like images depicting Jesus as you mention that many post on fakebook.

However Revelation 1 has a description of Jesus.

Revelation 1:14 His (Jesus) head and his hairs were WHITE white like wool, as WHITE white as snow; and his eyes were as a FLAME OF FIRE flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass,

Brass is made of copper which is REDDISH GOLDEN BROWN as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. (California surfers have a golden brown tan)

Eyes as a flame of fire could well be blue, since a gas stove flame is blue, with shades of yellow and red.

some push this to become racial pride and the Bible speaks against pride.

I jst want to know, Why are their so many Christians puting on facebook a person that looks like Jesus. with blue eyes and long hair and white. I would like to know were can I find that in the Holy Bible, and yet you have so many Christians say Amen on facebook to a person they do not ever know if that is Jesus, when The Holy Bible shows us that we sould not worship any Idols, because we don't know how OUR GOD ALMIGHTY looks. but it does give us some information on how Jesus Christ looks in the book of REVELATION: with eyes red like fire, not Blue, and his kin like find Brass and not White. and why the Bible tell's us all in EXODUS 20:3,4, 5, thou shalt have no other God before me. EXODUS: 20:4, thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image: or any likeness of any thing that is in heacen above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:, EXODUS:20:5, Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them:::, why do then so many Christains continues doing so. ?? that is what I wanted to sak you, Thank you and God bless you all. my brother's and sister's in Jesus Christ.

it is such a great joy reading replies! Praise the Lord!

Victor, to answer your question, it means that the people wanted Jesus to go away. He had just cast out the devils that were in the devil possessed man and he sent the devils into the pigs. The pigs drowned themselves and the men who had the devils was now healed. But those who owned the pigs, they now had no animals. Therefore they wanted this Man Who did these remarkable things to leave them.

Victor James Chapter 1 says to ask for understanding from the Lord.

However let us read the account of what happened as to why they wanted Jesus to leave.

Matthew 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

the people of the area seemed well acquainted with these possessed of devils and were afraid of them.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

The town lost their unclean food supply and likely were shocked at the sudden change of behavior in the swine that seemed to have committed suicide rather than be possessed with devils.

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

Maybe they were unhappy with their losing their food supply and / or were deathly afraid that Jesus had power over the devils as they were familiar with the 2 men who were possessed. The unsaved are frightened by the spirit world. So they asked Jesus to leave....

Could anyone help me to understand Matthew 8:34

"they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts"?

Deason, I would have to say that the devils, more accurately translated demons, they do believe in Jesus. They know exactly who He is. In Matthew 8:28-34 when Jesus healed the two demonics, notice the confession of the demons: They said what do we have to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time.

They know who Jesus is. They recognize Him, and they confess who He is, Thou Son of God.

Also, you say you don't need to believe the whole bible to be saved. I agree. You don't have to believe any of the bible to be saved. The bible does not save you, Jesus Christ does. A person can still be saved without any knowledge of the bible. What sins are you referring to that a person does not need to repent of?

Good and faithful people come in all stripes and sizes.

4
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. What is the gift that Moses commanded?

There seems to be an asterisk in the 1611 A.D. scan which refers to the footnote scripture references on the right side: Isaiah 53:4 and 1 Peter 2:24 it appears.

Why is there a Black Star next to verse 17 of Matthew Chapter 8?

To my knowledge Paul was unmarried.
1 Corinthians 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
Peter however was married
Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

Nahum 1:4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. Matthew 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

The Children of The Kingdom are all that are saved. Most of the Jews not all are still waiting on Christ, they don't believe Jesus is the Christ that was to come. Most are still waiting.

Jesus is the healer. He didn't send anyone to the physician. He spoke the Word and the people were healed. Let's believe and have faith for healing. Jesus is able to do all things thought impossible. He's loving, compassionate, tender-hearted and merciful. God sent us a mediator -- saints use the power of Jesus. He's here for the asking and willing to help us. Live right and see results.

And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? The devils recognize Jesus. And they know that in the end of days , that they will be cast into hell and tormented. Why they said before the time. Devils know the bible more than some of us.

Danny Lawson, please read KJV Bible scriptures: 2 Samuel 12:23 Genesis 25:8 Genesis 35:29 Genesis 49:29 Numbers 20:24 Judges 2:10 Luke 22:17-18 Matthew 8:11 Matthew 17:1-3 1 Thessalonians 4:17 psalm 116:15 John 11:21-27.
